Abstract
A one-year-old boy with significantly elevated aminotransferase elevated creatinine and hepatomegaly was admitted to our hospital. Autoimmune hepatitis may have different presentations. Autoimmune hepatitis associated with a rise of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level was not reported. We report this case with the probable diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis with elevated blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine.
